Not exactly.  Remember the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/26/sports/olympics/26doping.html?_r=3&amp;pagewanted=1&amp;hp&amp;oref=slogin&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NY Times article&lt;/a&gt; from a week or so?



&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The researchers were primarily interested in learning whether the young men’s athletic performance improved — it did, and markedly so. At maximum effort, the men’s performances improved by 9 to 16 percent. But at a slightly lower level of exertion, performance improved by 50 percent, Dr. Lundby said. Athletes taking EPO can go 50 percent longer at that somewhat lower level of effort, which can make a major difference in an endurance event…&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Maximum effort aside, it is the daily grind without dope against those that do that kills you.  I think that is the real point of his comments.

		<description>If the riders that started beating him at the end of his career are so much faster because of doping...  Why does Lemond still hold the record for the fastest tour time trial in history?

If his logic were to hold water his time trial speed would have been long eclipsed.</description>

		<description>LeMond is looking for someone to live vicariously through, seems lil Phinney would be his first choice.

He needs to go disapear somewhere, dye his hair and tell people about his four touchdows at Polk high.</description>

		<description>Meh.  He isn&#039;t making a lot of sense with his arguments and, yeah, they ask Merckx, Indurain, Armstrong, et. al. about today&#039;s Tour -doped or not - and they, wisely I&#039;d say, offer no comments since they ain&#039;t in the peleton and their speculation, right or wrong, doesn&#039;t &quot;help&quot; the sport.  LeMond could take a lesson here since he has no clue if any his named cherubs have ever or will ever dope.  He isn&#039;t them.</description>

		<description>So I don&#039;t get what Greg is saying. If the racers who show great potential as youngsters should be great, then Armstrong and Landis should have his support. Floyd was a freak mountain biker, and Armstrong was beating triathletes much older than him as a teenager. Which is it, Greg?</description>

		<description>Greg can say what he wants because of his former position as a great champion of bike racing. That&#039;s why he gets interjected into things. Do you think they don&#039;t ask Eddy his opinions? Indurain? Even the great Lance, he&#039;s still all over the place when it comes Tour time, Greg ain&#039;t no different.

If Greg has to shut the fuck up, then so does everyone else right?

Greg is the man. I&#039;d always take his side over just about, well, anyone.</description>

		<description>Hey Greg...

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!

Why is it that he has to interject himself, his experiences and beliefs in every answer to every question, even though they have no bearing?

&quot;Greg, what&#039;s the weather going to be tomorrow/&quot;
&quot;Well, we are sitting in a low pressure trough, so this pattern of rainy afternoons will continue...much like in 1990, when I was the only clean rider in the peloton and the rains came in the first weeks of the Tour.&quot;

Damn man, go the fuck away............</description>

		<description>If everyone is getting a chance to correct their action/direction (Riis?), then LeMond has equal opportunity. I&#039;d rather have him in there mixing up the rotation anyway. This whole deal is absolute bullshit on how it&#039;s been managed. Let him fuck it up a bit too.</description>

		<description>So it&#039;s the guys that show greatness at a young age who could be great?  I suppose he forgot the wins a young Armstrong got and his competitiveness in tri.  You can&#039;t have it both ways, Greg.  You&#039;ve been out of the peleton for a LONG time now and perhaps it&#039;s just time to go be great champion who has moved on in his life.</description>
